First Anniversary!

Sooo excited! Sean and are celebrating our first anniversary tonight. So much to do. I am making chocolate covered strawberries, chilling the champagne, and baking a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting this morning. I meant to make these last night, but after unloading the groceries, this was not happening. I’ve been sick all week and was exhausted!

We are getting a free room at the same hotel we got married at. The itinerary has changed a few times, but as it stand right now, we are eating dinner at Jimmy’s Charhouse near the hotel, swimming and relaxing at the jacuzzi, and lastly snuggle into a movie and eating our anniversary cake and strawberries.

Instead of saving the top tier of our wedding cake, we decided to serve it to our guests. Our top layer was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, which we never got a chance to even try 😦 boo hiss! I wanted to order a cake from Rolf’s Patisserie, where our wedding cake was from, but I found it was exceedingly expensive. Then I thought I’d check Target’s bakery. Not bad at $18, but felt that a Dunkin Hines box mix would do just fine at $1.67! Can’t beat that.

Had a really funky week so far. Have been sick with a cold but starting to feel better. It’s all about the super foods. We’ve been eating a ton of spinach. Here is that spinach, feta, onion, balsamic salad that I’ve been ranting and raving about:
